Hi David,
The output voltage has to be regulated, and the regulator could fail
in a way that allows the voltage to go too high. I don't know if the
maximum voltage you can get out of one of these would be as bad as a
runaway alternator, but I would still put in OVP. With the PM, you
obviously can't kill the field, so the only option is to open the B
lead.

Hi Bill/ Bob White,
a couple of months back we discussed using a permanent magnet type alternator, similar to the one used in Harley-Davidson motorcycles. Does any of the 'Nuckolds' worries about runaway alternators have relevance to using PM Harley alternators? BR, Dave McC ( basic elec knowledge-no way an EE)
